How to Understand Impressionist Full-text Reading

For most people, when appreciating some paintings, sculptures, installations and other works of art, there are always some works that you can't understand, or don't understand the author's intention at all. Because in abstract works, we can't find any specific language or even symbols to tell us what this work really wants to express. There are also several factions or styles in figurative works, such as classicism, romanticism, serving the court nobles, realism, exposing social reality and so on. Even in the late impressionism, imaginative symbolism, and finally the rise of modern art such as expressionism, cubism, futurism, Dadaism and surrealism, in fact, most works of art have not completely got rid of figurative language symbols. We can still find more or less reminding information, as well as interpretable elements and certain themes from their works.

The rise of modern painting is accompanied by abstract growth and progress. As we all know, Kandinsky, Malevich and mondriaan laid the theoretical and practical foundation of abstract art and endowed it with broad development prospects. Let people get more and richer modeling possibilities from simple factors. For most abstract works, I'll actually read them to you. Maybe I don't understand and I can't say anything. But I can feel, feel the visual impact that the work brings to me, whether beautiful or ugly. For example, the color of the picture may make me feel excited, depressed, warm, cold, bitter and so on, which are all caused by the real feelings brought by a certain place and a certain scene in the real world. Another example is the interest and surprise conveyed by the picture composition, just like the surprise of knowing new things when we were young, and even the feeling of panic. There is such a world and such an expression. In addition, the brush strokes and texture of the picture bring us the most direct visual impact, the colors spill or flow at will, the brush strokes jump at will, and the brush strokes affect our visual nerves like notes. A good work can lead us to write our inner world at will, just like the artist himself.

After reading this, some readers should understand how to appreciate abstract art. Below I will try to talk about how an ordinary person should interpret and treat abstract art works. Art has no boundaries. As I said in the first paragraph above, most of the art before modernism has a service object, while abstract art has escaped from this cage and gained a more free and broad space. At first, abstract art even rejected and vilified religion and did not serve any group or institution. Nowadays, abstract art is an artist's free and unrestrained expression of his inner world, without any restrictions, only colors, forms, brushstrokes, and even abandoning all figurative languages. Abstract art itself is emotional, without logic, without stories and without any realistic scenes. In other words, abstraction is unfamiliar without any experience you have gained from real life. The word strangeness is familiar to everyone. Look at a stranger, a strange city, a strange world and a strange field. Abstract art is the inner world of strangers we don't know. So we can't give abstract art an evaluation standard and interpret language in the same way. As the saying goes, thousands of people have thousands of thoughts and thousands of people have thousands of images. The judgment of one thing is different for different people. You don't know a new thing that you have never seen before. I think it's right not to understand. After I explain abstract works in this way, you should face up to the fact that it doesn't matter whether you understand or not. So what's important? You see, my teacher told me before that there is no good or bad in a work, only good or bad. Works are not for understanding, but for appreciation. Most people will be optimistic about the works, whether you are an artist who knows art or an ordinary person. I think sometimes the evaluation of abstract works is more direct and pure than that of ordinary people who don't know art, and the dialect is well said: teasing radish and cabbage is different! Even though we don't know what he is expressing, there are always people who will appreciate or criticize him. I think only controversial works are meaningful works. So the important thing is whether there is a job you like and you want to feel it.

Below I will simply answer many people's questions about abstract art, which is neither authoritative nor absolute, but simply express my personal understanding. First of all, the first question is that I can't understand it. As I just explained, abstract works are not for you to understand, but for you to feel. feel ......

How to understand a painting?

When you see a painting, the first thing you see is the general structure. Composition is the overall control of a painting, and it also determines the breadth and depth of the painting. For the audience,

Light and shadow actually refers to the brightness changes of the light, backlight and reflective parts of the object in the painting and the way to express this change. We perceive objects with our eyes through the reflection of light, which is roughly the same in painting.

Brush strokes in painting refer to the traces left by the painter on the screen after the interaction between pen, pigment and canvas in the process of painting. It plays a very important role in painting and is an important symbol that distinguishes painting from photography.

As a basic element in painting art, brush strokes have their own artistic formal beauty, which is a part of the formal beauty of painting and an important part of artistic language.

Then use visual perception, comprehensive functions of other organs, life experience and cultural knowledge to feel, experience, associate, analyze and judge works of art, gain aesthetic enjoyment and understand works of art and artistic phenomena. From perceptual knowledge to rational knowledge.
